ST. CLAIRSVILLE, Ohio (WTRF) – More than a dozen motorcyclists rode miles around the Ohio Valley in the rain … just to draw a winning poker hand.
The Experience Church in St. Clairsville hosted its first poker run, to point the way for children who have left foster care and don’t know where to go next in life.
The benefit raised money for Forgotten Angels, who bring hope through life skills and education.
Cyclists and drivers drove to the checkpoints to get a card each, and see who had the best place on the way back to the Experience.
The church sees the practical guidance of Forgotten Angels as a natural fit for its mission of spiritual guidance.
“So a lot of young people are at this stage of their lives where they don’t have the support of the family care system and they’re really not sure what to do or where to go next… we want to make sure that our The community knows that we are the church and we are here to help and we want to play a part in that role.”
Kayla Dixon, Director of Outreach, The Experience Church
The Harley-Davidson store provided gift cards for the riders, who played alongside motorcycle YouTubers Her Two Wheels and Brap Star.
